[PATCHv4 4/4] cpuidle: coupled: add parallel barrier function

From: Colin Cross
Date: Mon May 07 2012 - 20:57:55 EST


Adds cpuidle_coupled_parallel_barrier, which can be used by coupled
cpuidle state enter functions to handle resynchronization after
determining if any cpu needs to abort. The normal use case will
be:

static bool abort_flag;
static atomic_t abort_barrier;

int arch_cpuidle_enter(struct cpuidle_device *dev, ...)
{
if (arch_turn_off_irq_controller()) {
/* returns an error if an irq is pending and would be lost
if idle continued and turned off power */
abort_flag = true;
}

cpuidle_coupled_parallel_barrier(dev, &abort_barrier);

if (abort_flag) {
/* One of the cpus didn't turn off it's irq controller */
arch_turn_on_irq_controller();
return -EINTR;
}

/* continue with idle */
...
}

This will cause all cpus to abort idle together if one of them needs
to abort.
